I know everyone has heard the saying, "Men aren't suppose to cry." Well, I witnessesd a situation and felt that it was quite alright for this young man to cry. Leaving your family in which you love dearly. Always knew you were going to go to college but never thought of having feeling so strongly about missing ones family that has brought them to tears. All of a sudden having to pack up and gather yourself to meet new people and start another life somewhere else. My friend, who I will not name, was brought to tears one day this weekend. Seeing old photos and memories rushing back tohis brain. Uncontrollably he began to cry. Young men can become extremely emotional from holding in thoughts and feelings for so long. This only thing for me to do was give him a hug and assure him that they were missing him as well. Now, I have nothing bad to say about my friend crying because I can understand his situation. If there was a different situation then maybe I would've thought differently. So for me this is definitely an exception for when a young man can cry.

You are right about men crying. They are people like girls are and yes they have feelings. It is a sad thing when you go away from your family so I totally feel his pain...
I do agree with you that most guys hold in everything for a long time. I myself tend to do that. I will hold in all my anger, sadness, and emotions until I crack. I can remember a time in high school where I got up and left the classroom to go the bathroom to cry. Guys usually don't like to cry in front of others. Its a personal thing.
